Tasting Profile
At a towering 10 % ABV, Troon Brewing’s I’m High And Outside is a decadent barrel-aged imperial stout that pushes the boundaries of craft brewing. Expect a dense, viscous pour with deep mahogany tones and a rich tan head. The nose opens with dark chocolate, espresso, and charred oak, layered with bourbon vanilla and dried dark fruit. On the palate, molasses and roasted malt dominate, supported by tobacco leaf and a warming spirit character that lingers through an endlessly long finish.
Food Pairing
A natural match for a wedge of aged Gruyère or sharp blue cheese, where the stout’s roasted bitterness cuts through rich fat. Equally at home alongside a dark chocolate fondant with sea salt caramel, amplifying the beer’s deep cocoa and vanilla notes.
